Haunted House

She’s in a haunted house
Middle of autumn out (side)
Got what she wanted but haunted by being unwanted now
She’s in a haunted house
Middle of autumn out (side)
Got what she wanted but haunted by being unwanted now
Welcome to spooky season, thirty seven degrees
Welcome to broody reason, to the seventh degree
The organs are playing, the orphans arraying the keys
Endorphins are fading, decaying with mental disease
(And the) leaves they are falling off trees and the trees they are falling down
Horses and carriages, shoulda been marriages, ghosts of this town
(Who)
Women named Mary
(Boo)
Bloody and scary
(Ha)
Laying in baths full of cherries and squeezing out juice
Looking like Baby Goth, something staining her teeth
Halloween spirit with pumpkins instead of a wreath
The fog is like witch’s broth
And it’s making it tricky to see
The vibe is wicked, sick, and
Wroth
Wonder what’s buried beneath
Walk up to the door
Axe on the floor
Greeted by bats
Old Victorian decor
Ask for
The lady with cats
Kitchen a liquor store
Pours
Jack in a Venetian glass
Cellar a candy store
More
Wine bottles than there are rats
She’s in a haunted house
Middle of autumn out (side)
Got what she wanted but haunted by being unwanted now
She’s in a haunted house
Middle of autumn out (side)
Got what she wanted but haunted by being unwanted now
Out in the dark of night, no living people for miles
Only the ghosts of the witches who burned at the trials
Only the glow of the potions in beakers and vials
Nothing but zombies and coulda been mommies who live in denial
Peeping the parlor, silver amor in my periphery
Saw where her former partner became a martyr in the distillery
Took a step inside
Eyes
Darting and looking, saw those of an owl too foul to prowl around like he’s wise
Imagery, imagery, images in pictures living in infamy
Infinite weavings of symmetry
Misery in the vicinity
She isn’t even old, only born in '95
Heart is so freezing cold if it broke again she wouldn’t be alive
Feeling mysterious, eerie, and drained of my energy
I took a peek at a dreary near me book of elegies
Developed a theory she wasn’t weary to make enemies
Heard a creak as I took a peek at all of her memories
She’s in a haunted house
Middle of autumn out (side)
Got what she wanted but haunted by being unwanted now
She’s in a haunted house
Middle of autumn out (side)
Got what she wanted but haunted by being unwanted now
She’s in a haunted house
Middle of autumn out (side)
Got what she wanted but haunted by being unwanted now
She’s in a haunted house
Middle of autumn out (side)
Got what she wanted but haunted by being unwanted now
Deprived inside, she’s ruthless to survive
She saw me in the hall and grabbed her forty five
I’d only just arrived to see if it was true
I turned around and heard a sound out of the blue
